Andrew,

Vtiger 6 with the new MVC model driven architecture makes it easy to 
switch UI by customizing the template files, or creating new templates. 
New Themes are even more easier (You can change colors by changing 2 
values in a CSS file).

Joe, i am surprised by your comments on Vtiger6. You seem to be 
chastising Vtiger6 for being a better platform for developers, compared 
to Vtiger 5.4.

 1. Vtiger6 is based on the same PHP framework as Vtiger 5.4, but with
    better separation of UI and Data handling code (MVC).
 2. Vtiger6 supports the same Webservice APIs of 5.4 and extends them
    further
 3. To make client side development easier, Vtiger6 has a new frontend
    built on (very) popular frameworks (Bootstrap, JQuery)
 4. Vtiger 6 Developer Resources are available at
    community.vtiger.com/help <http://community.vtiger.com/help>
 5. We have thousands of businesses using the Vtiger6 of over a year,
    and we have a large suite of automated test cases, which we continue
    to expand.

We welcome any feedback that would help in making Vtiger6 a better 
platform. We are committed to improve the developer experience and will 
continue to roll out tutorials, examples, in the coming weeks.

Regards,
Sreenivas

    Got plan to switch default GUI of 5.4? I don't mean playing with css
    but deeper changes such as vtiger 6

        If vtiger CRM 5.4 works on Synology, then coreBOS works, it
        already has the code changes to work on PHP 5.4 and PHP 5.5 and
        we are currently working on upgrading the dependencies to work
        also, (among many other things), ....

            Hello Joe,

            I understand your point. The only issue here is that I am on
            a Synology. I
            could potentially install most software in there but at the
            end they
            wouldn't be integrated within the system and other related
            problems would
            also arise by doing so.  Synology only proposed a handful of
            CRM solutions
            within their package center, namely SugarCRM, OpenERP and
            VtigerCRM. Tried
            the 2 first, nearly got a heart attack. Vtiger was my last
            go. It worked
            somehow ok, but yes I agree I feel I am spending more time
            than I should
            making it work as it actually should. I understand this is a
            community based
            software, still I believe code testing is pretty lax here.
            Even looking at
            the Readme file of vtiger6.1, it still refers to "vtiger CRM
            4.2 Patch 2 Sep
            15, 2005" Sigh...

            I am by no means a programmer but I know very well how to
            goole, and fiddle
            to a certain extent the code to fit my basic needs. Right
            now vtiger6.0 is
            looking like it will be a big NO NO for me. Already found
            4/5 bugs which I
            am not willing to spend time repairing. Simply not my job.

            I will have a look at those you mentioned though. Always
            good to know what
            they are worth.
